(3) Characterful CEO who is a demon on driving down costs and owns 9% of the stock. (4) Growing sales and earnings during the recession (a horrible period for their customers, the insurance industry). (5) Proven ability in successful acquisitions and quick integration. (6) Large open ended opportunity as insurance industry moves away from paper.
